“Thermax® N990CG: A Low PAH Thermal Black for Food Contact Applications” Webinar by RDAbbott (November 19)

Thermax® N990CG medium thermal carbon black meets the requirements for carbon black specified in EU 10/2011, enabling its use in water gaskets. It also carries an effective Food Contact Notification (FCN No. 2420), allowing it to be used in applications covered under CFR 177.2600 rubber articles intended for repeated use. During this session, you’ll learn how Thermax® N990CG can serve as a drop-in replacement for standard N990 in rubber formulations, while ensuring compliance with stringent regulatory requirements for food contact and consumer goods.

Cancarb Technical Bulletin Examines Thermax® in Polystyrene Foam

Cancarb Limited has published a Technical Bulletin that describes the advantages of incorporating Thermax® Thermal Carbon Black in various formulations of polystyrene (PS) foam. The study documents the dispersion and processing benefits of Thermax® and uses similar expansion, density, open-cell content, and compression properties as the control. Adding 4 wt.% thermal black resulted in a ~ 3% reduction in thermal conductivity and a ~ 14% reduction in thermal effusivity.
